This week, we announced support for Dell Networking Z9100-ON and Dell Networking S4048-ON data center fabric switches. Plexxi HCN™ will give Dell customers the power to scale data center networks flat and cost-effectively while still delivering unrestricted performance for all application workloads. With Plexxi HCN, Dell customers will also be able to:

Scale-out using Dell top-of-rack (ToR) switches without the need for dedicated spine switches and extra transceivers.

Enjoy a seamless cloud experience where network resources are deployed in complete synchronization with application orchestration.

Deploy a single data center fabric on which all applications run at top performance, simultaneously, without complex traffic engineering.

Plexxi is setting the new standard for data center network technology and application awareness, and we couldn’t be more excited. For more details on this news, click here.
